A Quaker-built jute works that once employed 800 people, a country house that passed from an Armstrong governor's family to the same Goodbody dynasty, a limestone junction station from the age of three railway lines, and two churches — a crenellated 1770 tower and a neo-Gothic cathedral-in-miniature — both sharing the name of the town's patron saint.
